Default Calder Park 8th October!!

Hi all,

As the title says. Just wondering if anyone else was going to head down there provided the weather is ok.

I will be going down with my wagon to run it and see what difference the tune has made down the 1/4 mile.

If anyone is keen on meeting up let me know.

Rhys

I think you will have the place to yourself.
3rd or 30th October may be better
